Once upon a time, it was considered just plain tacky to mention gifts or registries in invitations. Just like modesty and good taste, this seems to be going by the wayside. One recent bridal couple this planner had the task of organizing actually wanted to include a note to guests that read "We have everything we want or need, just give us money or gas cards." - REALLY!?
The correct, and polite, way to let guests know where one is registered is still by word or mouth through a third party. With the prevalence of wedding web pages it is perfectly acceptable to include links to online registries.
In order to avoid the appearance of "tackiness" please refrain from including gift requests with invitations and holding "dollar-dances" at the reception. The exceptions being if you prefer a donation to a favorite charity or request no that no gifts be given.
